The Pensacola Cultural Center is a three-story building located at 400 South Jefferson Street in downtown Pensacola. It was formerly the Escambia County Court of Record Building, which was built in 1911 and served until 1978. The property was deeded to the Pensacola Little Theatre in 1988 as a home for Pensacola's art organizations and was completely renovated in three phases between 1989 and January 1996.

The building was occupied in January 1912, although Benz cited 89 problems in the construction that he felt must be addressed before the job could be accepted. Much of these defects were blamed on the plumbing contractor, who was dismissed and ultimately sued for $33,000 by F. M. Blount, his father and attorney R. P. Reese.

The new building had a built-in gallows on the third floor. The rope was held by an iron circle in the ceiling of judge's chambers, with a trapdoor in the floor of the execution room. The final hanging took place on July 31, 1920, when Hosea Poole was executed for killing his brother.

The Atrium is an enclosed, brick-walled courtyard that formerly served to connect the Court of Record Building's judicial and detention sections. It is currently the home of the Portabello Market and is available to rent for parties and other events.
